Urban Development has been an ongoing occurrence ever since European settlement in 1778. Urban Developments are practically used by everyone in Australia and involves the building and development of roads, train lines, buildings, houses, pipelines, sewage lines and just about any man made development that has involved the environment in some way. While Urban development plays such an important role in the lives of every Australian it has had many negative impacts on the environment such as the loss of habitat and biodiversity through clearing of land, Contamination of watercourses and oceans through sewage outfall, storm water drainage and industrial waste disposal, air pollution from factory’s, and increased areas of compacted soil, contributing to higher levels of runoff from rainfall and erosion. As technology becomes more advanced so does urban development and with a range of new machines becoming more advanced so will urban development and it will become bigger and better in the future.
